A Temple Of serpelts

The small town of Werda, in the
kingdom Of D,homey, is celebrated for
its Temple of Serpents, long build
ing in which the priests keep upward
of 1000 serpents Of all sizes. which
they feed with the birds and frogs
brought to them as offerings by the
natives. These serpents, many of
them of enormous size, may be seen
hanging from the beams across the
ceiling, with their heads hanging
downward in all sorts of contorlons.
The priests make the small serpents
go through various evolutions by
lightly touching them with rod, but
they do not venture to touch the big
gest ones, some of which are big e.
nough to enfold bullock in their
coils. 1t often happens that some Of
these serpents make their way ont of
the temple into the town, and the
priests have the greatest difficulty in
coaxing them back. To kill SER
pent Intentionally is crime punished
by death; and if a European Was to
kill one the authority of the king him
s,lf would scarcely suffice to save his
life. Any one killing serpent unin-
tentionally must inform the priest of
what has occurred and 60 through q
course of publication, which takes

Circumstantial Evidence.
HOW IT ALMOST LYNCHED AN INNO.
CENT MAN ACCUSED OF MURDER.

' In the early DAYS when the greater
part of the money in circulation con-
sisted Of notes issued by State banks.
the Pennsylvania seldom accepted
notes issued by banks in another Stae,
and good deal of business was done
by men exchanging the notes, charg
ing a small commission for so doing,
just as man wanting to travel in Eu-
rope has his money exchanged to that
of the country in which he is going to
travel. John Burnsides left Pittsburg
for Wheeling, intending to cross the
river and buy some land he heard was
for sale in Ohio. When he got to
Wheeling he had his Pennsylvania
money exchanged for that of Ohio at
one of the banks and he then crossed
the river and went to the house of his
brother in law, considerable distance
away. Having Investigated the land
he thought Of buying he returned to
his brother flaws place and sid he
would like TO have gone back to Penn
sylvania by another route, but would
have to 90 to Wheeling to get his mo-
ney changed.
The brother-in law said he had a
good deal of Pennsylvania money that
had gradually accumulated by his
having frequently exchanged small
quantities for travellers. He made the
exchange. receiving the identical pack
ages of Onio given by the bank at
Wheeling. Burnsides bought horse
and intending riding home across the
county.
Have You got any weapons" saio
his brother law.
No" replied Burnsides, Il never
carry arms.
well, your road is lonely one, so
tax this pistol. 1t may come handy.
You can send it back with some trav-
trler after YOU ret into Il more thickly
settle! country
The revolver had the owners name
cut in the handle. Burnsiles started,
and the next day travellers reported
he tindns of his dead body. Exami-
nation showed that there had been "a
struggle, and in searching the bushes
near the spot the pistol wa found.
rhe owners name being out on it.,
Burnsi,les brotherin law was arrested
The packages Of money were found
and these were positively identified by
the bank otlicers at Wheeling. There
was not the slightest Doubt entertained
as to the prisoners guilt, and he v as
locked up in jail to await his trial, al
though the case seemed SO plain that
there was some talk Of lynching him.
The court did not meet till some
months after that, but before the trial
came off the authorities received from
some obscure town in Indiana, the
confession of man who ma Just died
Of consumption, that he had killed
Burnsides. In this case there were
only few links in the chain of cir
cumstance, but they were very strong,
and undoubtedly would have convict
ed the poor man ut for tha confes
